May the Lord Studio - I still have You Lyrics

Verse 1

I used to think that faith was something people wore on Sundays
Something clean enough for daylight, then forgotten by the Monday
But I met You in the midnight when the doors were double-locked
When my strength had left the building and my prayers had nearly stopped
No stage, no song, no strength left in my chest
Just a tired soul admitting, "God, I gave the world my best"
And the world took what I gave it, then demanded something more
I had hands full of achievements, but my heart was running poor

Chorus

Then You found me
Not when I was holy, not when I was strong
You came walking through the wreckage like You knew where I belonged
I said, "Jesus, I got nothing."
You said, "Then give me nothing."
So I gave You nothing, and You made it everything
When I have nothing left, I still have You

Verse 2

When every door is closed, You lead me through
When my hands are empty, when my heart forgets what's true
Jesus, Jesus, I still have You
Take the crown, take the gold, take whatever I can lose
Just don't let me live one day without You

Verse 3

I prayed for You to change things when You wanted to change me
Prayed for oceans to get smaller while You taught my feet to see
I kept asking for an answer, You kept asking me to trust
I kept begging for a palace, You kept building from the dust
And I hated every silence, every season, every wait
Every moment I was wondering why Your timing came so late
But the waiting killed the idols I was too afraid to name
And the fire didn't end me, it just burned away the chains

Bridge

Now I know why some doors stay shut
Why some prayers are "no"
You were keeping life away from me
You were teaching me to let go
How good is being known by every face I'll ever meet
If the One who formed my heartbeat is a stranger when we speak?
I don't want to borrow faith
I don't want a secondhand flame
I don't want to know about You, Lord
I want to know Your name

Chorus

When I have nothing left, I still have You
When every door is closed, You lead me through
When my hands are empty, when my heart forgets what's true
Jesus, Jesus, I still have You
Take the crown, take the gold, take whatever I can lose
Just don't let me live one day without You

Outro

One day my name will be a memory
My photograph will fade
Someone else will own the room where all my biggest plans were made
Everything I called important will belong to someone new
And the only thing that follows me is what I did with You
So teach me how to love before my time becomes a stone
Teach me how to forgive while I still have breath and hope
If I become successful, keep me kneeling like I'm broke
If they praise me, keep me humble
If they hate me, keep me close
You are the nails, You bore the weight, You took the shame I couldn't pay
The King of Heaven entered death and walked out holding death's own grave
So how could I be quiet? How could I make this faith polite?
You stepped into my darkest night and called me child and gave me light
Jesus when I'm winning, Jesus when I lose
Jesus when You give me what I never would have chosen
Jesus in the morning, Jesus through the night
Jesus when I understand, Jesus when I don't know why
Jesus when I'm breathing, Jesus when I weep
Jesus when my mouth is word, Jesus when I cannot speak
And when my final heartbeat has nothing left to prove
Let the final word inside me be You

Chorus

When I have nothing left, I still have You
When the stars go dark, Your promise still is true
When this body turns to dust and this life is finally through
Jesus, Jesus, I still have You
Let the whole world fade, I still have You
There was never any treasure, there was never any truth
There was never any life greater than You
Take my yesterday, take tomorrow too
Take the life I thought was mine, make it all belong to You
And if I leave this earth with nothing anyone can use
I will leave the richest soul alive
If I leave holding You
